Row and Thrusters, then Box Jumps and Dips

Warm up with 200 Double Unders, then work on Ring Muscle Ups and Handstands.

Shortened version of the CFI workout from 22 September 2016:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • Row 250 Meters
  • 10 x Thrusters (95/65 lbs)

Rest 7 minutes

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • 20 x Box Jumps (24″/20″)
  • 10 x Ring Dips

Results:  Success on all fronts.  For the warm up got in 105 unbroken double unders, then got my first muscle up (then proceeded to do 5 more, including 2 in a row) and was able to hold a handstand for around 5 seconds.  For the metcon, in the first part, I got 2 rounds plus 250m row and 5 Thrusters, for the second part got 3 rounds plus 20 box jumps and 5 ring dips.

Front Squats and Pullups then Burpees, Wall Balls, Toes to Bar and DUs


Every 4 minutes for 24 minutes do Front Squats

  • min2: 30s WBs
  • min3: 30s Toes to Bar

Results:  After so many reps lost count.   Just kept going and going…

Lunges, then Wall Walks, Deadlifts, Kettlebell Swings and GHD Situps

Spend 15-20 minutes working Handstands.

Not for time, do 5 rounds of:

  • 6 x Overhead Reverse Lunges total @ 38kg/85lbs

For time do 3 rounds of:

  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 9 x Deadlifts @ 75kg
  • 18 x Kettlebell Swings @ 32kg

Presses then Wallballs and T2B

Every 4 minutes for 20 minutes do:

  • 1-1-1-1-1 x Push Press @ 105lbs/50kg, rest with bar in front rack for 5-10 seconds between reps
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Strict Pullups

Then do AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

  • 10 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Wall Balls

Results:  The “rest” between reps worked well to give time to concentrate on the push press.  Pullups: 12-8-8-7-6.  For the AMRAP did 4 rounds plus 10 Wall Balls and 5 T2B,

Lower Body Vacation Workout

So, following on to my last post, as a second workout, to keep in shape while on vacation here is the lower body version.  Could also swap Back Squats for Deadlifts.

Not for time do 3 rounds of Deadlift with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 185lbs/85kg
  • 3 x @ 205lbs/93kg
  • Max Reps @ 225lbs/102kg

Then for time do:

  • Row 2k
  • 50 x Box Jumps
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 50 x Air Squats

Results:   For the max reps DL did 6 reps. Metcon in 17:00 (50 Air Squats are way easier than 50 pushups)
